Denise & Brandon

Denise and her son Brandon is part of Klaus' new family when he leaves due to Roger's abuse in "Mused and Abused".

When Roger finds success as an artist by causing Klaus pain, the latter leaves him to start a new life. Without his muse, Roger's artwork and life goes on the skids, while Klaus recovers nicely. The latter finds him in his dumpster at work but rejects his invitation to return to the art studio. Undeterred, Roger breaks into Klaus' new family home and begs him to come back. Urged by Denise to show some compassion and allow him to stay for a meal, he confesses that he's never been happier since he's gotten away from Roger's influence. Having hit rock bottom in front of his old friend, Roger invites him and his family to his new art show, where he unveils his artwork of a domesticated Klaus, which is thoroughly panned by everyone, including Klaus himself. After driving away Denise and Brandon in his anger, Roger reveals that the piece secretly hides the real Klaus as he knows him as he decides to drop artwork for heroin. When he realizes he's been duped by Roger again, he mournfully calls for Denise but is too late.
